John Rosa claims that the title of Local Story comes from the idea that the book is an instance of “talking story” about a local story, using this style of oral transmission in written form to convey to the reader the contents of the book. This is not a book specifically about the Massie-Kahahawai case specifically, but about the effect which this case had according to the author, a look into the formation of a local identity that brought together people of different ethnicities into one collective group as a result of the Massie-Kahahawai case (Rosa 2014:7). Local Story is indeed successful at explaining the Massie-Kahahawai case’s impact on the formation of local identity, but delves too deeply into the case’s smaller details and loses the reader to what should be a topic for the curious reader to research on their own.…
Ms. Bordenkecher’s reliance upon materials outside the pleadings to argue that Plaintiffs’ claims are unsustainable demonstrate that Defendant seeks summary judgment from this Court, despite its claim to the contrary. Under the Maryland rules, when a defendant files a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim, and matters outside the pleadings are presented to and considered by the court, “the motion shall be treated as one for summary judgment and disposed of as provided in Rule 2-501.” MD. RULE 2-322(c) (emphasis added). The reason for this rule is that with a motion to dismiss the court considers only the allegations in the complaint to determine if the facts alleged by the plaintiff sufficiently state a recognized cause of action.…
“The first responsibility of the court is to make orders that further the “best interests of the child.” [1] Being familiar with the homeless population through working in my school district the terms and context of “best interest” become confusing. We have families living near a running stream in a tent which is considered a running water supply. To many of you this may seem shocking, but when it fits others in the population a tent with a stream is considered satisfactory. Our school’s homeless coordinator works with these families to provide more stable conditions for them.…
The Murri Court operates under the goodwill of the Magistrate in collaboration with section 9 (2) (o) of the Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 (Qld). The legislation states that if the offender is an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person then three things can be taken into account: the offender’s relationship to their community; or any cultural considerations; or any considerations relating to programs and services established for offenders in which the community justice group participates. The magistrate of this court is assisted in a number of ways by Indigenous Elders. The Elders assist the magistrate by advising them on cultural issues, providing background information about the offender, explaining to the offender, if required,…

Defendant Blatchford personally directed Gary Seaton to expose himself to TCE and other toxic chemicals and personally dumped TCE and other toxic chemicals onto the ground outside of the facility. This pollution resulted in contamination to the grounds outside of the Modine/Sundstrand facility as well as the City of Camdenton well, which Gary drank from. Given that decedent was poisoned at home, his family can maintain an independent cause of action for his death. This undermines the entire motion to dismiss. Further, Gary's family can also maintain a civil action for the exposure which occurred at work.…
The 1970s had increasing nonviolent activity (Civil Disobedience). In 1971, the Supreme Court, in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, upholds busing as a legitimism and sometimes necessary tool to achieve desegregation and integration. But, the court does not rule on segregation in public schools in northern states where it is mot imposed by statute. In 1973, congress passes Section 504 of the Vocation Rehabilitation Act barring discrimination against disabled people with use of federal funds. In June of 1973, Keyes v. School District No. 1 Denver Colorado, the Supreme Court addresses issue of school desegregation in northern public schools.…
On March 26, 1968, the city of Chicago had adopted an ordinance that prohibited protesting within 150 feet of a school during school hours with an exception for peaceful labor protest that would go into effect on April 5, 1968.

The police department informed him saying that if the protesting continued they would arrest him. On April 4, 1968, the day before the ordinance would be enacted, Mosely had ceased…
